    minor band saw gloat

    i haven't put this is the deals and discounts section because they were supposedly all gone. but i'm strolling around the hawthorne, ny HD this morning and in an overhead i spy a NIB ridgid BS. check w/ CS and the system says there's none on hand and the price is $.01. store manager is called, saw is pointed out and he solemnly confirms he can't sell it for $.01. "how much, then" says I. he proffers $50, i offer $30 and we settle on $40. i know they aren't terribly well regarded and i'm not sure what i'm going to do with it yet but for $40? always pays to look up when you're @ the local HD.

    $40 for a new in the box 14" band saw? Yea, I would take a chance on that!

    Nice find if you don't like it you could give it to a school and take the retail value of it as a tax deduction.
